Cheating

Why do people cheat? Infidelity is a very common practice in today’s society. The world is much larger than it used to be, populated by millions of people. Therefore there is a wider choice of people as prospective partners. Perhaps because there are so many of us we begin to see people as disposable. It’s the human condition to make mistakes, but if we view people as things we can get rid of and simply get another, our behaviour lacks conscience or scruples and consequently guilt.

When is the moment of infidelity for you? Is it…..
Flirting?
Feeling strong emotions for another person other than your partner?
Watching your partner kiss a member of the same sex for fun?
Holding hands?
Kissing?
Sex?
Another relationship?

For me flirting is harmless as long as it goes no further. We’re all human and harmless fun doesn’t hurt anyone. If my partner had strong feelings for someone other than me I would feel hurt and in a sense betrayed. However if these feelings didn’t progress any further I would forgive and forget as long as those feelings did not interfere in our relationship. Kissing for me is the first step of cheating. I believe if you can go as far as to put your feelings into physical contact there is no turning back. If you want any form of physical contact other than which you receive from your partner, you are dissatisfied with what your partner is providing and are willing to be unfaithful to acquire it.

Why cheat? If you are not happy in your relationship to the point you want a relationship with another person, whether it be no strings attatched or long term, why not end your relationship with the partner you're cheating on? If you are happy, why cheat? You can’t have your cake and eat it too!
